Good to see the rear Prop Shaft is the same as the other two,
I keep looking for a centre drive axle in 1/16 but no success yet.

I think I am about to upset someone

Well, the middle axle has metal internals, front & rear axles both have plastic crown wheels but brass pinions. So that’s not bad
The instructions are shyte, spent a lot of time taking it apart because the pics are so small you end up using common sense & putting things on upside down & you only find out when something won’t fit later grrr.
Apart from that niggle i think it’s better than the 4wd version.
Here it is completed

Just wish that they would sell these trucks and crawlers with an optional kit that had all of the metal axles and driveshafts included, rather than the plastic parts which are headed for the parts bin. All of the WPL models have taken off around the world, people are doing all sorts of upgrades with them, tons on You Tube, they are now 'very' popular.
